Evan has his school book fair tomorrow and every item on his wish list are Dog Man books by Dav Pilkey. When we received them in Spanish he was over the moon. I’ve been reading them to him since his Spanish is still a work in progress. These books have encouraged him to continue learning the language. Scholastic is partnering with me for a giveaway! One lucky reader can win the chance to expand their library with these fun Dog Man books thanks to Scholastic 📚

We are huge football fans in our household. Every Saturday we watch college football and Sundays we basically stay home and watch football all day. A lot of the times we have our friends and family over. I don't consider myself the best host because I am still learning as I go. I have learned a few tips that had made our game days more successful.
1. Paper Plates & Napkins- These are a must for any party. Otherwise your dishes will pile up and I know I am not washing them. Paper plates and napkins are so convenient. Once your guest is done eating they can just throw it away and done!
2. Finger Foods- I have learned that buying finger foods is easiest to keep a group of people happy. Games are long and commercial breaks are always food breaks for us. Cheese trays, fruit, chips, dip, guacamole, wings and meatballs are a few of our favorites.
3. Stock up on Drinks- Sparkling Ice are a favorite to purchase for game days. We keep the Sparkling Ice Pink Variety pack on hand. They come in a 12 pack of Black Cherry, Peach Nectarine, Coconut Pineapple & Pink Grapefruit. I love that Sparking Ice has natural colors and flavors, vitamins and antioxidants, and zero sugar! You can find Sparkling Ice Pink Variety pack near you here.
4. Have everyone bring something- Potlucks are always a smart idea. You don't have to stress about providing all the food. There will be plenty of food this way!
5. A Cozy Sitting Area to watch the Game- We love to clear up our sitting area. If it's a cold day we like to keep throw blankets and pillow nearby. Games are long and feeling comfortable is key.

Hey y'all! I am so excited to share a product that has helped me gain a confident smile. I am partnering up with Smile Brilliant on today's post. I am a HUGE coffee drinker. I drink coffee every single day. At 29 I found myself smiling less and covering my mouth when I laughed because my teeth were starting to look way too yellow. I love coffee but stained teeth is my worst nightmare. Throughout the years I have tried every product you can think of to help whiten my teeth. Strips, toothpaste, mouthwash, charcoal and even gum. Strips never really worked for me because of my sensitive teeth and everything else I never really saw a long term difference. Until a few weeks ago I was introduced to Smile Brilliant. It is an at home teeth whitening kit that will meet all of your teeth whitening needs.
I started this process a little over a month ago. My concern was experiencing gum and teeth irritation. Smile Brilliant offers a non-sensitive kit and sensitive kit. I went with the sensitive kit because of my past experience with teeth whitening. The kit arrived promptly. They send you everything you need including the putty to create your custom teeth whitening trays. Once you send off your molds you will receive your custom trays and you can begin this teeth whitening process. Their website is easy to navigate and finding the product you need is easy.
I did a total of 6 sessions and probably could have done at least one more, but I was very happy with the results I skipped the last one. My first teeth whitening session was 45 minutes followed by the desensitizing gel session which was 20 minutes. Every whitening session after that I was only able to do 30 minutes and 15 minute desensitizing session because life! HA! I did one to two sessions a week only because I was trying to avoid my gums from getting irritated. However, I experienced little to no gum sensitivity which is rare!
What I love the most about this teeth whitening kit is that the results last for up to a year. This kit is for sure worth every penny.

A few tips that helped me through this teeth whitening process.
-I ALWAYS applied coconut oil to my gums to help with sensitivity.
-I spaced out my whitening sessions and that helped my gum sensitivity. It did take longer to see results but was worth it in my opinion.
-I started drinking my coffee with a straw while I did the whitening process.
-I did my whitening sessions before bed.

MEXICAN STREET CORN RECIPES
This post is sponsored by Mayonesa but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
September is Hispanic heritage month and I am kicking it off with two delicious street style corn recipes. Growing up every summer we would take a trip to my mom's small town in Mexico. Aside from visiting friends and family the food was always what I anticipated the most. The taco stands, tamales and street corn were my favorite. We would visit our local Plaza and savor all of the delicious food. Our food is a great representation of our culture. Mexican food is unique. Every Mexican recipe
is made with passion and hard work. I haven't visited Mexico in a few years but I try my best to re create my favorite recipes. Street style corn being one of them. It can be made so many ways depending on your taste, but one ingredient that completes this recipe is McCormick Mayonesa.
Over the weekend we took a trip to Walmart. I love that they have an isle specifically for Hispanic food. That is where you will find this delicious mayonesa. If I am cooking Mexican recipes that require mayonnaise I have to buy McCormick Mayonesa. With McCormick Mayonesa’s distinct lime-flavor, it’s the perfect (and delicious) ingredient to use when creating recipes that celebrate my Hispanic heritage! The recipe I am sharing today is easy to make. It's great to make for your family or even a barbecue with friends.
You can learn more about McCormick Mayonesa here.
This second salad is by Esquites Mexican Street Corn recipe and can be found HERE.
INGREDIENTS
-1/3 cup McCormick® Mayonnaise with Lime Juice (Mayonesa)
-4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
-4 cups fresh corn kernels
-1 teaspoon McCormick® Chili Powder
-3/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
-1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
-Lime wedges
-4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
-4 cups fresh corn kernels
-1 teaspoon McCormick® Chili Powder
-3/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
-1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

AFTER SCHOOL SPARKLING ICE SLUSH + TREAT FOR MOMS
This post is sponsored by Sparkling ICE but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
Evan started first grade last week. I was afraid that adjusting back to our school routine would be difficult for him, but boy did he prove me wrong. He did so well and I am so proud. He rides the bus after school and it has been so hot that I have been surprising him with a Sparking Ice Black Raspberry slush! It's a great way to cool down after a hot ride home. We normally sit in our living room and he tells me all about his day. The slush normally helps spark conversation. Sparkling Ice Black Raspberry has been a hit in our household. If you follow me along on Instagram you know I am a sparkling water lover and Sparking Ice is one of my favorites. We love that Sparkling Ice has natural flavors, vitamins and antioxidants, and zero sugar. Not bad for water, huh? We always make sure that we always have them in our fridge. The variety of flavors is just amazing, but black raspberry is currently our favorite.
Sparkling Ice +Caffeine Black Raspberry is a new one for me. I had never seen it before, but I think it's genius. I am a coffee drinker, but around noon I always need a pick me up. I searched for the Sparkling Ice +Caffeine Black Raspberry and I was able to find it near me and online. Find yours HERE. I love drinking it mid-day when I need a caffeine boost. I feel like they are the perfect treat for mamas this back to school season.
How to create the perfect Sparkling Ice slushy

HOW I PREP FOR BACK TO SCHOOL WITH POST IT
This post is sponsored by Post It but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
I know going back to our school routine is going to be hard. We are currently use to having fun and sleeping in. Unfortunately all of this is ending in a few days. I am currently prepping for back to school. The only way for us to have a successful school year is to stay organized. Last year I learned a few tips and tricks that helped me stay on track with our busy schedule. We have quite a busy month ahead of us and I will ensure to implement them to prep for back to school.
Post It EVERYTHING: I use Post-it®s in my planner, calendar, laptop, fridge and even mirrors for daily reminders. I also enjoy writing motivational quotes for Evan and myself. Waking up to bright neon colors helps me not forget anything. This year we picked up a few packs for home and even a few for Evan's teacher. We spent a little over $10 at Walmart and luckily I kept my receipt because I was able to receive a $10 Fandango Promo Code*! Post-it® are so handy and perfect to prep for back to school! Purchase $10 of Post-it® and Scotch™ stationery back to school supplies and get a $10 Fandango Promo Code* for your next movie ticket purchase.
Plan out weekly outfits: I started off with planing each outfit at night, but shortly I realized that planning out weekly outfits worked best for us. I purchased a closet organizer and store his outfits in it. Such a game changer! It makes my mornings so much easier. Planning weekly outfits will help the first few weeks of school go by smoothly.
Plan out lunches: I plan out all my meals before I even go to the grocery store. It makes my trip so much easier and mornings less stressful.
Have a designated space for backpack/school work: When Evan comes home he know where to put his backpack. When it's time to do homework he knows where to get pencils or crayons. When it's time to read he know where to get his book. It's all in one area and not scattered everywhere. I keep it all in a basket near his backpack.
Keep a calendar near: We have so many important dates this month. Meet the teacher, football practices, games and so many other things. My calendar keeps me informed and I know I will not miss any important date because of it. I make sure to update it and check it everyday. Writing things down just works for me.
